“Holy T7 Polymerase, Batman!”: R&D Considerations For More Awe-Inspiring xRNAIt goes without saying we have some pretty ambitious therapeutic goals for linear mRNA and next-gen saRNA and circRNA. However, as my conversation with Koeris explored, we still have a lot of scientific and technical work/innovation ahead of us to make our RNA products “stronger” (in more ways than one).

Inside Alnylam's Playbook For High Volume siRNA ProductionAs one of the first companies to establish a chemoenzymatic ligation platform, Alnylam's Maines and Nechev are in the perfect position to espouse wisdom on the practical aspects and remaining challenges of implementing enzymatic ligation at a large scale. Here in this installment, Maines and Nechev outline what they’ve learned thus far about the science of enzymatic ligation, while also paying credence to the unknowns and existing barriers that, as a frontrunner, Alnylam will inevitably (but willingly) be tasked with facing in the future.

In this Advancing RNA Live clip, Sail Biomedicines’ Marc Wolfgang gives us a brief primer on the main differences and challenges in developing an IVT reaction for circular RNA, as opposed to linear mRNA.
In this opening Advancing RNA Live clip, NanoVation Therapeutics’ Dominik Witzigmann and Stealth Co’s John Zuris share the scientific advancements they’ve been watching most keenly in the LNP space, as well as some of the evolutions they’re seeing in the overall quality of our RNA-LNP products.
Advancing RNA Live panelists Tyler Goodwin and April Sena start off our latest discussion on technology innovations in mRNA production by surveying the current manufacturing process for plasmid production, highlighting where they’ve seen advancements and what biotechs need to consider to obtain plasmids of the appropriate quality for mRNA production.
With benefits across applications, nanoplasmids are designed to replace antiquated bacterial backbones, while eliminating antibiotic markers that can cause regulatory concerns.
